Alzheimer’s Care is consistent, trained support that watches for the changes nobody else sees coming. It’s not just helping with daily tasks. It’s about keeping your parent anchored to routine, catching safety risks before they become emergencies, and giving you the breathing room you didn’t know you needed. Our caregivers understand that Alzheimer’s isn’t a straight line, and neither is the exhaustion that comes with it.
On any given day, this means medication reminders that actually happen, meals that get eaten, showers that don’t become battles, and someone watching for wandering, confusion, or the kind of small falls that don’t get reported until something breaks. It means your parent isn’t alone when they have a moment of panic at 2 a.m., and you’re not the only person who knows they left the stove on. We track what’s changing, so you don’t have to do it all in your head.
Families in Berlin often work with us right after discharge from Hospital of Central Connecticut, when the real questions start: how do you actually manage this at home? Our team is nurse-founded, which means we don’t guess about progression or medication timing. We know what to watch for, when to flag changes to the doctor, and how to keep structure even when the disease is pulling everything apart.
Our founder is a nurse. That means every person on your care team understands medication timing, safety hazards, and the specific ways Alzheimer’s changes behavior. We’re not learning on the job. We see patterns, catch problems early, and keep your parent safe because we know what to look for.
A good fit between caregiver and family changes everything. We do detailed intake, listen to what you need, and place someone who understands your parent’s habits, fears, and the specific routines that keep them grounded. Then we stay involved, adjusting as Alzheimer’s shifts what’s needed.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow business hours. When something shifts, you need to reach someone who knows your situation and can help you think through it. You get a real contact, real availability, and someone who understands the weight of these decisions because they’ve held them before.
We work with Hospital of Central Connecticut families regularly. We understand the discharge timeline, the questions doctors don’t always answer, and what families actually need once they’re home. Being in Hartford County means we know the neighborhoods, the roads, and the rhythms of Berlin.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.

Common questions
It includes medication reminders with verification that they're taken, help with meals and hydration, toileting and personal care, monitoring for safety risks like wandering or confusion, and keeping a steady routine that your parent recognizes. We also watch for changes in behavior, appetite, or mood that might signal something new happening. Most importantly, we're present and watching, so small problems don't become emergencies.
We can often start within days if that's what you need. When Hospital of Central Connecticut discharges your parent, the transition window is critical. We work directly with discharge planners, get the medical history, medication list, and any special instructions upfront. If the hospital calls on a Tuesday, we can have a caregiver in your home by Thursday or Friday, already briefed on what's happening.
No. Alzheimer's Care through our agency is private pay because it's about consistency, relationship, and the kind of watchfulness that insurance companies don't fund. What you're paying for is someone who knows your parent, stays through the hard moments, and adjusts to changes without waiting for pre-authorization. That level of care isn't something insurance reimburses. We can discuss rates and what different levels of support look like for your budget.
Home health aides are short-term, task-focused, and usually come through medical insurance for a specific period after discharge or an event. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, relationship-based, and centered on the disease progression itself, not just basic tasks. Our caregivers are trained and supervised specifically for Alzheimer's, which means they understand behavioral changes, safety hazards, and the need for routine in ways general aides aren't equipped for.
Yes. We do a full intake to understand your parent's personality, habits, fears, mobility needs, and the specific things that calm them or set them off. Then we match someone with experience in those areas and introduce them carefully. We also stay involved after matching, watching how it goes and adjusting if something isn't working. It's not a one-time placement and goodbye.
We have a backup system. Your parent doesn't get a stranger they've never met, and you don't get a cancelled day. We maintain a trained network and coordinate coverage so continuity matters. We also keep detailed notes on your parent's routine and preferences, so backup caregivers step in with the context they need. We know how destabilizing change can be with Alzheimer's, so we minimize it.
